EAGAN, Minn. — The Eagan Police Department is increasing its patrols after multiple sexual assaults were reported to the department in the same area.

The latest assault occurred on Thursday morning when a woman was attacked while walking alone on the trail in Lebanon Hills Regional Park, said the police department.

According to the release, the department is actively working on both cases.
